Quotes

• In dioceses of secular countries with a network of Catholic schools and Colleges, the primary community of faith has become the school. There the majority of the baptized encounter for the first time, in any systematic way, the person of Jesus Christ, prayer, liturgy and the Church's sacramental life. Teachers rather than parents have become in many instances the first formators in faith of our young. Catholic schools are not products but agents of the Church's mission.
